When Chu Xianping arrived at the Dahui territory via the teleportation array located in the East Jihai Sea and met the Dahui Emperor, he was destined to make a huge wave in history.
It is still unknown where this huge wave will sweep and who will be submerged.
However, judging from the current performance of Chu Xianping and Lu Hongji, they should have reached some kind of alliance, or cooperative relationship...
At the foot of the heavily guarded Beizhong Mountain, the two exchanged a few polite words and then walked onto the carriage together.
And just as they were leaving in the car, Wei Changtian, who was far away in the Xinfeng Imperial Palace, looked directly into Xu Suisui's eyes and asked the first question.
"What exactly is your system?"
...
What is Xu Suisui’s system?
This is the key to solving all mysteries.
In Guanghan County, when Wei Changtian went to stop Zhenshan Camp alone, he already had a guess.
However, he did not ask Xu Suisui at that time to confirm whether his idea was right or wrong.
And Xu Suisui never explicitly admitted it.
Therefore, this matter is actually still a mystery.
As for Wei Changtian's guess...
Although changing the "original plot" and such a motive can explain many of Xu Suisui's behaviors, it still doesn't make sense logically.
That's why Xu Suisui wants to be the "Riddler"?
You know, unlike Wei Changtian and Xiao Feng, who were saddled with a blood feud as soon as they traveled through time, there is obviously no direct conflict of interest between Xu Suisui and Wei Changtian.
In this case, Xu Suisui can choose to tell Wei Changtian the original plot direction, and then the two of them will negotiate to distribute the interests, and finally choose a way of handling it that is beneficial to both parties.
For anyone in their right mind, this should be the optimal solution.
But Xu Suisui didn't do that.
From secretly sending a message to You Wenzong not to enter Niutoushan, to quietly finding Qin Zhengqiu, to stealing the token of the remnant soul to join the Kuilong Council of Elders, and then to pulling together a group of people to create a new...
.
Although the things she did touched Wei Changtian's interests to some extent, as long as she could give a reasonable explanation, Wei Changtian might not necessarily stop it.
After all, Xu Suisui did do a lot of things that were beneficial to Wei Changtian.
So why doesn't she reveal her motives?
Is it just because she doesn't trust herself who is also a time traveler?
Obviously, Wei Changtian felt that the reason should not be that simple.
That's why he asked this question directly in such a straightforward way.
As for Xu Suisui's reaction to this...
"I......"
Holding the corner of his clothes, Xu Suisui shook his head gently.
"I can't say."
"..."
A second ago, she told Wei Changtian to ask, but when Wei Changtian asked, she didn't say anything.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Suisui's behavior of "going back on his word" would undoubtedly make people very unhappy.
However, Wei Changtian's expression did not change much this time.
Because Xu Suisui said "can't".
No, this means that it's not that she doesn't want to say it, but that she is subject to some kind of "restriction".
And if you think of the conventional settings about the confidentiality of the "system" in previous online articles...
"Okay, let me do the talking."
Nodding, Wei Changtian stood up and paced slowly back and forth in the room.
"The reason why you can't say it is because of your system."
"Can't you proactively disclose the existence of the system? Or can't you disclose the details?"
"Anyway, it should be about the same limit."
"Once you violate...you have to die?"
Looking at Xu Suisui, whose eyes were wide open, Wei Changtian knew that his guess was probably close to ten.
He paused and then said:
"What about the plot in the original work?"
"You always said you were helping me, but you refused to tell me the purpose of doing those things."
"Thinking about it this way, don't you think you can reveal things that haven't happened yet?"
"Hmm...that's not right either."
"You clearly told me and Ning Yongnian in advance about the imminent invasion of the four countries, and also told you about the hidden dangers of the Moon Sword in the future..."
"These two things obviously haven't happened yet..."
Dragging his chin, Wei Changtian became silent as he spoke.
Rather than saying that he was asking Xu Suisui now, it would be better to say that he was talking to himself.
In fact, his guess is very reasonable.
After all, the reason why Xu Suisui worked so hard and thanklessly as "The Riddler" may be helpless.
You cannot directly tell others what will happen in the future, you can only change the plot through your own actions...
Just like when she was first in Guanghan County, she did not directly tell Wei Changtian that the Zhenshan Camp was around the Shu army's breakout route, but instead tried to delay the Shu army's breakout by setting fires.
If this is the case, then the underlying logic of most of Xu Suisui's actions will make sense.
But there are still two contradictions.
Just like what Wei Changtian said just now.
First, at Lingbo Pavilion, Xu Suisui personally told him and Ning Yongnian that the Four Kingdoms were about to invade Fengning and Fengning.
Secondly, after Ning Yongnian died and the situation of three parts of the world was formed, Xu Suisui sent another secret message, telling him that Lao Zhangtou was accidentally robbed of the Moon Sword by a wave of robbers on his way back to the White Palace.
As a result, there will be many quasi-first-class masters in the future.
These two things can undoubtedly be regarded as "leaking secrets".
But isn't this a big deal in Suisui?
"..."
The logic once again hit a dead end. Wei Changtian frowned, not knowing how to continue his analysis.
System limitations were the only reason he could think of to explain Xu Suisui's behavior.
But the facts prove...
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, like a flash of lightning flashing across his mind, Wei Changtian's pupils shrank suddenly.
Recalling again the difficult situation in Fengyuan City he had seen tonight, an extremely incredible guess gradually emerged in his heart.
no doubt.
If it weren't for him, Xu Suisui would have died half an hour ago.
If it weren't for Ningshu's 300,000 reinforcements, Xinfeng would have perished within five days.
Since Xu Suisui knew all this, why didn't she make corresponding arrangements in advance?
Yes, she did use many means, and she did defend Fengyuan for half a month with ten times the strength of the weaker enemy.
But to be honest, her responses were not like "planning in advance", but more like... hastily responding.
right!
Just a hasty response!
It’s as if she didn’t expect that Gan Hui Erguo would actually come to fight!
"I see......"
Slowly turning his head to look at Xu Suisui, Wei Changtian took a deep breath.
Putting aside all personal subjective emotions and looking down from the overall situation, he finally found the last way out in the maze of thinking.
The invasion of the four countries in Qian Huijueji is indeed a fact.
But this does not mean that this is Xu Suisui's "prophecy coming true"!
"In the book you read, in fact, returning to the Four Kingdoms did not lead to a war in the end..."
"..."
...
The agarwood has gone out and the candle flame is flickering.
In the book you read, Qian returned to the Four Kingdoms and did not start a war in the end.
Xu Suisui's body trembled suddenly, and when he heard these words, Xu Suisui felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his breathing suddenly became extremely rapid.
Wei Changtian looked at her extremely shocked eyes and slowly said sentence by sentence:
"You wanted to stop the national war between Fengning and Ning, and you wanted to stop the civil strife within Daning, so you made up a lie and told me and Ning Yongnian that foreign enemies were coming."
"You know I will definitely believe you, and I do believe you."
"It's just that you didn't expect that even so, I would still kill Ning Yongnian."
"You didn't expect that the butterfly effect caused by Ning Yongnian's death would actually lead to this war."
"You didn't expect it, but you can only respond in panic."
"In order to make up for your mistakes, you found Buddhism and tried to fight against Qianhui and the two countries on your own."
"But the plot has changed so much up to this point that you don't know that many people in Buddhism have turned against it."
"This has caused the situation in Xinfeng to take a turn for the worse, and you can only defend an isolated city in Fengyuan. You even almost lost your life just now..."
"Haha, let me tell you why Fengyuan's situation is so critical, but you just stood there and remained silent."
"I'm just going to tell you why Chu Xianping's rebellion is such a big deal, but you really didn't know anything about it."
"I'm just talking about why Lao Zhangtou knew how to escape, but ended up being robbed of the Tiaoyue Sword Manual by a bunch of bullshit robbers..."
"Fuck! Everything you said before the relationship was all lies!"
"..."
From calm to cold, to uncontrollable anger.
Wei Changtian stared at the pale Xu Suisui, and the latter's fearful look also proved that what he just said must be true.
"I, I didn't know things would turn out like this."
He clenched the corners of his clothes tightly, and the joints of his fingers were even a little white from the exertion.
Xu Suisui did not dare to look at Wei Changtian, but trembled and choked:
"I want to tell you the truth, but, I can't..."
"If you can't say you don't know how, just don't say it?! If you can't tell the truth, you have to tell lies?!"
Wei Changtian interrupted her explanation with an angry roar:
"You think you are great? Everything is under your control?!"
"It doesn't matter if you want to die! Don't fucking hurt me!"
"boom!"
"Crack and boast!"
Wei Changtian, who even used swear words, was undoubtedly extremely angry at this time.
He waved his hand and overturned the Eight Immortals table in front of him. The teacups, teapots and other items on the table smashed into a mess on the ground.
"..."
Tea splashed on the golden skirt, Xu Suisui bit his lip, his eyes were red.
Grief, self-blame, guilt, regret...
Complex emotions surged into her heart, making her not sure how to face Wei Changtian at this moment.
In fact, the purpose of all she did before was really for the good of Wei Changtian.
But she never expected that she would get the opposite result in the end...
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Summoning up all his courage, he stepped on the broken pieces of porcelain and walked up to Wei Changtian. Xu Suisui tugged at the corner of the latter's clothes tremblingly.
"I, I know I was wrong..."
"What else do you want to ask..."
"Even if I die, I will definitely tell you..."
"You, don't be angry, I, I'm afraid..."
"OK......"
...
